Pros (+) Super cute rooms with that DDR charm! Everything was clean and neat, and comfortable. Thankfully the rooms are updated enough to have comfortable beds and clean new bathroom fixtures with the DDR accents. I chose the private bathroom, and was pleased to have it. Easy check-in & check-out. Vintage radio worked great! Ideal location 2 min walk to the S-bahn
Cons (-) A bit difficult to maneuver luggage up and down stairs as there is no lift. Would have been nice to have a mini fridge & a fan as the summers are hot! Private bathroom was not en suite, but across the hall. Otherwise no complaint!

The room had almost all of the things you can look for when hunting fo...
